Hey all,i am having problem with package manager..even after updating it shows "The package information was updated 20 days back" and sometimes a warning message on the top of the panel comes indicating the same.

Can someone kindly suggest me what to do in order to get rid of this problem.BTW mine is Ubuntu 10.10

It means that the update manager has a problem fetching info from some of the repositories in your sources list.

Open a terminal, give

sudo apt-get update
and post the output here.

Hi,
are you behind a firewall or do you use a proxy? There are some 404 errors in the output you posted.

I suggest you do the following:

System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager > Settings > Repositories > and change the setting Download from to Main Server and then Reload.

Let us know if this helps.

I changed the server to main..But,when reloaded some packages couldn't be downloaded..It gave me the following error



Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/konstigt/evolution/ubuntu/dists/maverick/main/source/Sources.gz 404 Not Found

I wonder if their link is broken because I just tried to connect and also get a Not Found response.

You may have to wait a bit and see if the link comes back up.

Can someone kindly explain what's going wrong with this update manager..why can't it update it's repositories..It still shows "The package manager was last updated 22 days ago"

How to get rid of this problem?

Maybe I would suggest you to remove the packages with the 404 errors then you should be able to update your system again.
You dont need a PPA for Evolution in my opinion, its default in Ubuntu.
Maybe you wanted a newer version as you are still on 10.10 but then I would change the PPA.

Yeah,as u said the problem is with evolution..i removed it and the update is going well..
But,how will i get the updates for evolution mail when i removed the update source
